Right there with you brother, that piece has been bolted to a wall in every place I've lived for the last 28-30 years.

I have an uncle with a huge old house in Vermont that has open fuseboxes like that all over the house.
I'll only agree to it if it's attached to a van de graff generator and every time I flip the switch a hunched over assistant says "yes master"...

How bout goin wireless, and using a Tesla coil, and shooting arcs of electricity between the truck and trailer? Would look really cool drivin down the road, with the under trailer lights synched up to the music, somethin classy, like Metallica's Ride the Lightning or somethin

So the shower and sink, I.E: waste water is all done.
First I had to get a variety of plumbing supplies.
And make a huge mess.

So. Water comes out of the faucet
And goes into this little doohickey. Which switches between the faucet and the shower.
White hose goes to the sink table faucet:
The other hose goes to this shower head which will be hanging in the enclosure.
Inside the bottom of the enclosure will be this lightweight hot water heater pan. It's got a drain.
The T is where both drains meet.

Got 25 feet of discharge hose and another 20 foot extention hose if I need it.
Total weight of the table and drip pan and all fixtures. 29 lbs. not bad.

Yeah - thought about the potential draining issue - that 1" leader pipe from the T thingy to the pan is just a slip fit. If there's backwash I can just put a longer leader pipe to fix it.

AC back in place.
Still have to face the cabinets and build some more inner structure. Doors are being custom built and a corner hinge is on order.
Wind turbine is my latest 'what if' project. Working on a mast system - telescoping flagpoles, sailboat masts, galvanized steel pipe in sections? Guide lines? Etc. hoping to add another 400-500w of power (potential - rated as 600w max) for less than $300. Just slightly cheaper than the current $1 per watt that solar is now.

Man we just took down an aluminum flag pole at work. I think it's like 3 five to six foot sections. I can try to get it for you if you want?

Yes! I have to see if it's thick enough but yes please!

Would have made a bunch of electricity tonight!!
600 watts max.
400 watts rated
Whatever that means.
Point being. $160 for 400 watts is less than half the cost of solar.

Amazon.

Gotta buy a rectifier to convert it to DC (about $12) and a mast (found a 29 foot tilting mast with carrying case and steel guide cables for another $150 or so. Less if Steves flagpole scrounging turns out to be fruitful
